Mister Nader stand down
Please, Mister Ralph Nader, can you please stand down from your
ill-advised campaign to splinter the voting block of those opposed to
the bush* tyranny in this upcoming poll.


PLEASE dear god, Mister Nader, i pray you stand for what your platform
is about, and oppose a bush 2005 administration by standing down.

Please tell your voters that:

You feel it wisest, after much deep contemplation, that we come
together to make sure that the bush republicans do not win the
presidency again.


Please also tell them that:

I, Ralph Nader, ran for president to prove a point; to show corporate
America that they cannot drive liberal America to fear, running in
opposition to the trusts. I cannot withdrawal for fear of injuring my own
political future. I ask you instead, voters who might consider me
worthy, ... Please ask yourselves, voters, in your deepest
conscience, and heart of hearts.... what is the right vote, what will
defeat our determined foes and open a change for which we will
all be thankful.

I, Ralph Nader, ask you not to cast that vote for me, but for the
one who will bring America together in 2005, President, John Kerry.

1. Nader is a Republican.
Edited on Sun Mar-21-04 07:28 PM by Liberal_Guerilla
And his followers will someday(If not already)vote Republican. Just like all the Reagan Democrats before them.

2. I still don't understand the mindset
of people wanting to give Bush another 4 by voting for Nader.

3. They're trying to make a symbolic statement, while a REAL south-bound
freight train is bearing down on them.

Fools.

4. It's because they are closet Republicans.
They will come out eventually. Meanwhile they can pretend to be cool liberals while secretly voting for their true love George Bush.

7. This guy really re-defines "asshole" for my 60's generation
Initially, this time round (2004), i figured Ralph Nader was just
being a silly, you know like "a silly" when your sweetheart wins the
bowls carnival animal at the circus, and tells you he loves you,
forever, and always, no matter what kids we have, i will take care
of you and ours and do best for us all, and all the people on this
earth. I swear to you lover, in my passion. Marry me, and I will
make true to my vow for justice for all people of the earrth.


Now, asshole, make true to your vow.

5. Better idea:
How to get the 50% of the American public to take interest in voting. It's their country too, why do they not seem to care?

It's pretty pathetic (and I'm being very polite here) that we need to worry more about 5% of the population than 50%. :eyes:

Very pathetic indeed.

x(

There are two, much bigger, problems afoot: American apathy and American preference to mindlessly and blissfully let corporate america keep control.

Issues. Not scapegoats.

11. Well, you won't get anywhere THAT way.
Be at peace, or be mad as hell. Shit or get off the pot. The two terms are mutually exclusive.

MTM,
Mad as hell.

12. Am I missing something?
I never hear any statements or see any news articles about Nader or his views on any issues. He's like a ghost candidate. So, what's his point in running? (Besides the obvious.)

Really, has anyone else noticed this, or am I just missing stuff on the news?

14. He was not allowed to play with toys so he's playing with us !
He is on an ego. vacation.somebody please buy this guy a miniature replica of the white house so he can get his delusions of grandeur off his mind. H needs toys and he needs a woman or a man. whichever he prefers..He don't need to be at 7 percent and for all of those dreamers of Nader. Same advice !
